RE: karaoke night.
Hi Brett, I will indeed be using different backing tracks, some will be as you mention, Midi type files, but most will be cdg mp3 type karaoke files. I will also be using zip format files, with the cdg mp3 files contained. My main problem is still getting a piece of software to play the above. A program or add on would be fantastic. Have you such a program to play zipped files containg cdg mp3 files?, Billy -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Brett Boyer Sent: 09 December 2011 04:18 To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: karaoke night. Hi. I ran across your message again and wanted to see how things were progressing. You said u would be using k A r files? SO these are basically midi files with lyrics that show up on the screen? I ask because these are different than mp3 files zipped with cdg files. Most karaoke people use zip files which contain an mp3 and a graphic cdg file. Obviously the mp3 has full band and usually backing vocals whereas the midi file has a synthisized tone generated file that uses your sound card to play. K a r filess take up a fraction of disc space but sound quality is usually not-so-great. I have more experience with the zipped cdg stuff but I'm sure I can help you either way I just need to know what your setup is. bb Brett Boyer Audio Production and voice over http://brettboyer.voices.com Brett Boyer's Big Bag of Goodies!

I have never done such a thing before, and I'm now in a panic. If anyone can advise me or give me some tips on running this party, it would be great. The other query; I'm going to use my laptop computer for playing the KAR tracks, and I'm wondering if there is a good accessible piece of software to play these files?. I realize there are add ons for winamp and WMP, but I would rather have a dedicated karaoke playing program if possible.

RE: over the air tv on a win 7 machine?
Hello Brett, this is Interesting stuff. I have been looking for some kinda software to watch television here in the UK, but it seems a dedicated TV tuner card is the best way to go. I'm sure there are software packages to allow you to watch live television on computer systems, but I do not know of any such programs myself. Just for the record, I have Sky satellite TV, Billy -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Brett Boyer Sent: 09 December 2011 01:41 To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: over the air tv on a win 7 machine?

Hi all, I've seen discussions on this list about the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra speakers, and looked around. Amazon had them for £120, but they've increased their prices, so now it's £170. I'm looking for a cheaper 2.1 system, with good base, and good clarity of midrange/trebbal. I would also prefer to have base/trebbal; volume controls on a device that sits on your desc. I'm not really bothered about line-in/outputs on it, as I already have a mixer.

Re: over the air tv on a win 7 machine?
To be honest I have not listened to them. I talked to a few people on this list a couple of years ago and per there suggestions I went off and bought a usb tv tuner, hooked it up to my incomming cable, and had a sighted friend help me with setup. It worked so unbelievably well. Now that I am living in California we have att u-verse so I cannot use my media center and I'm forced to memorize menus and such with the stupid cable box. I feel I should only have to pay a small percentage of this damn bill because I can't access more than half of the features. Anyway sorry for the rant. I guess the answer is no, but I really hate one word or one line answers. bb Brett Boyer Audio Production and voice over http://brettboyer.voices.com Brett Boyer's Big Bag of Goodies!

Re: 2.1 Speaker system
Hi! Hmm, that price for the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra speaker system seems a little high but all the same its a nice speaker system if I dare say so myself. Of course! there are other 2.1 speaker systems out there and I only bought Altec Lansing because of the reviews I've read and because I've owned Altec Lansing Speakers before and I know others who rave about them smile. Altec Lansing do have a cheaper 2.1 speaker system called the Expressionist Plus, it has a bass adjustment - actually it adjusts the sub-woofer but it doesn't have a treble and in my opinion the system really doesn't need one smile, its very clear. I've had quite a few speaker systems in my time including 2.1 and I've never seen one with a treble control until the Expressionist Ultras came along, I'n not dismissing the fact that such a speaker system with a treble control doesn't exist, I just haven't sen it.

Greetings, What I would like to have, is a series of samples where the effects are used, each sample giving what settings are created to obtain the sound. So, anybody willing to try and set up such a beastie? Obviously, the samples should be really pronounced, each should start off normal, giving the precise settings, then we could hear the sound with and without effects. I believe such would be of great help at least for me, for instance, what is dynamics? offset? flanger? Reverse is obvious as is echo and reverb. Effect samples should be created using GoldWave alone, i.e no added plugins or other third party facilities. Colin Howard lives at Park gate near Swanwick in Hampshire, Southern England.

Re: GoldWave Version 5.65 is now Available
Greetings, Do I understand this right, GW V5.65 will work ok with WindowsXP home and is the last version so to do? I thought V5.63 would not work properly with WindowsXP home. If I drop a line to Chris, maybe he can make it clear. Is anybody using V5.63, 4 or 5 with WindowsXP Home? If so, please can you give me an indication of any problems? Also, are the latest Jaws scripts able to work properly with these versions? Colin Howard lives at Park gate near Swanwick in Hampshire, Southern England.

RE: over the air tv on a win 7 machine?
Ah okay then. Just wandered is all. Yeah like I said before, I'm going to have to ask Comcast if this will work with them any more since you don't really control the TV any more.

Hi I have used media center with windows 7. Once set up it is perfect! I mean perfect! First of all, you get to have a guide like the sighted folks. Your channels go down the left side of the table. When you want to see what's on that channel simply hit right arrow and each show is listed. You can get more info about a show, or if it's on right now just enter to go to that channel. And you can see the whole line up for a few days by using your right arrow. I was amazed the first time. To think how cool it would be to have it like that on a real tv. The program is very usable by both jfw and window-eyes. The record settings, the recorded shows, even the online tv stuff! I think that 245 dollar program is really not worth the money.

RE: over the air tv on a win 7 machine?
I'm not sure, but see the thing is well at least with Comcast is that they take over the TV. Here is what I really have to find out, well, any of us that use Comcast do any ways if we want to use WMC. Actually, this would even apply even to TV speak. Yeah, because even the little basicable box that they give you for basic channals that looks like an ice creem sandwitch does it too. Is using WMC with their survice even doable at all? See, you must keep the TV or in this case WMC on channel 4. Or as far as WMC goes at least in theory you would, and there fore only the box changes channel. Let me make this cympler now that I think about it. You know what this is like? It's like when you use to use a VCR. But now imagine it taking over everything. So sorry to get long winded, but here is the end result. I guess, you could watch TV theoretically, but how do you tell WMC which channel to record from should you want to record? Because you see you must keep it on channel 4, if you change it, you get nothing. You must change channals with the box, and only the box. At least, that's how it works with TVs anyways. So, I don't know. Like I said, I mean to call and ask them when I'm about to get a new PC whin Windows 8 comes out. Or do any of you that may also use Comcast want to volunteer?

RE: over the air tv on a win 7 machine?
Hi Tom. Our cable company had cable boxes that put stereo through the coax connector. Unfortunately the VCR didn't do this, so to hear stereo from it I had to hook the composite plugs to the stereo or TV. Have a good day, and don't work too hard. GO CATS!

Maybe I'm missing something here, (and I may be veering slightly off-topic with this comment, but it would seem to me that (if one is on Comcast Cable; then if it really is so that you _must_ put your television (or whatever device you're using to pick up the signal), you'd have no way to hear the stereo audio; at least that's how it used to be! For the only _real_ way (as far as I know) to have true stereo for your television is to use your audio inputs and outputs (channel 3 or 4 just won't work (at least it didn't used to!

I'm not sure, but see the thing is well at least with Comcast is that they take over the TV. Here is what I really have to find out, well, any of us that use Comcast do any ways if we want to use WMC. Actually, this would even apply even to TV speak. Yeah, because even the little basicable box that they give you for basic channals that looks like an ice creem sandwitch does it too. Is using WMC with their survice even doable at all? See, you must keep the TV or in this case WMC on channel 4. Or as far as WMC goes at least in theory you would, and there fore only the box changes channel. Let me make this cympler now that I think about it. You know what this is like? It's like when you use to use a VCR. But now imagine it taking over everything. So sorry to get long winded, but here is the end result. I guess, you could watch TV theoretically, but how do you tell WMC which channel to record from should you want to record? Because you see you must keep it on channel 4, if you change it, you get nothing. You must change channals with the box, and only the box. At least, that's how it works with TVs anyways. So, I don't know. Like I said, I mean to call and ask them when I'm about to get a new PC whin Windows 8 comes out. Or do any of you that may also use Comcast want to volunteer? If so, thanks in advance. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Hank Smith Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 5:58 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: over the air tv on a win 7 machine? why don't they make a device that some how bounces the ir signal off the cable box so all you can do is put the tv tuner on input1 or av input then use the computers keyboard to control the box using the devices that bounces their signal? I mean is my idea so far out there or does something ixist? Hank On 12/9/2011 3:42 PM, Hamit Campos wrote: I'll call them when I go to get my new Media Center PC whin Windows 8 comes out. But yeah, thanks for keeping me posted. This started last April, it was when you had to go digital since the channals went digital. Remember whin they got rid of annaloge TV, that's when it happened. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Brett Boyer Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 4:17 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: over the air tv on a win 7 machine?

You put the TV on channel 4, then you have to call them and program it with the box and you control everything from the box's remote supposedly. It doesn't always really work though. -Original
